I can’t wait till we have our first “Excel interpreted these protein names as dates” style data error in a scientific paper caused by the researcher asking ChatGPT to write a script that winds up having an error in it.

I’ve had this for so long that I forget not everyone does this, but turn off push notifications on your phone for when you get a new e-mail. Nothing that comes in an e-mail is ever urgent.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

A lot of people who would have never bothered doing price comparison when shopping for flights because they were so loyal to WN (and probably thought their fares were still competitive) are about to start doing just that and WN is going to lose a ton of loyal customers.

for all of their fawning over the private sector, this would get you (and your boss, and maybe their boss) fired for cause in any business i have ever worked for

Reminder: Israel is so dysfunctional that it has had five elections in the last six years. It recently failed to stop the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. The idea that these people control your own country is a cope by folks who are bad at politics and don't get how it works.

Some random barely even official federal employees without a security clearance forced their way into systems with classified information (which I’m sure one of them will spill some day) and put on leave anyone who tried to stop them. But Dems are still talking about tariffs.

Opened the SF Chronicle app today and found three different stories of traffic violence from around the bay in like 2 minutes.

You are showing your entire ass by calling TikTok “a dancing app” in the year 2025

Honestly love to see people who developed a preconceived notion of what’s on the platform without having actually tried to engage with the communities on it. Bluesky also has a lot of people peddling obviously untrue things but imagine if we held those people up as the examples of this site.

If TikTok gets unbanned we’re all gonna get back and all the people from other countries are going to have some new trend. Everyone is going to be all “but the potatoes are mad!!!! Hahahahaha” and we’re going to be so confused

This literally happened to me when my $7k cargo bike got stolen in 2021. I had the listing online where my bike was being fenced in SF and someone had texted me the address of the seller. Both MVPD and SFPD basically told me to pound sand.

Good evening to everyone but the multiple impatient right-turning drivers today who chose to creep toward me while I was crossing the street rather than wait five seconds
